Deep In the Night

Caught in in a whirlwind of duties
obligations and responsibilities 
she wonders ... 
how can I be 
the girl I am 
and the woman 
I am expected to be...
managing...
work...  
errands endless responsiblities ...
Am I to grow old fulfilling these... 
Where is the girl I used to be... 
the one 
who would wait until 
it was now or never 
before completing any chores. 
Fun was what she wanted....
Excitemnet ... 
glamour...
seaside walks 
country rides 
atop a faithful friend... 
deep into the southern sultry nights 
she would glide as 
the wind carried her to him... 
Touching the air 
as she reaches to him... 
It is now cold and drawn... 
unyeilding... 
The moon watches sadly 
as she waits
he does not come... 
only the sounds of the night 
moonlight and shadows to comfort her...
The chill of the night is colder now.
Deep longing for his touch...
soft lips melding into the vapor...
bodies as one 
in the deep ebony light...
Oh where and who am I my mind questions...
I cannot live in dreams...
As I set atop Thunder my heart wonders ... 
where is the girl in me...
Who am I ...
Do I still love him...
many thingsssss...
Why can I not reach to him 

in the real life...

Athena, nice to meet you. These lines speak such strength, yet vulnerability, in volumes. Ah, the power of the night. Great work!
